First To See It.
First To Build It.
We don't compete in crowded waters — we find the blue ocean before anyone else does. From the world's first telecom Yahoo Group to a multi-vertical group spanning AI-powered digital marketing, GCC real estate, business setup advisory, food & catering, and youth entrepreneurship.
From a Yahoo Group
to a Group of Companies.
Long before "blue ocean strategy" had a name, Zumbeel was already practicing it — a mailing list, inside a Yahoo Group, connecting telecom engineers across the planet before anyone thought to call it community building.
The Stone Age of the Internet
Zumbeel is born in the early dial-up era. "Online community" meant a mailing list and a shared sense of curiosity — nothing more, nothing less.
World's First Telecom Community
The Zumbeel Yahoo Group becomes the world's first dedicated online community for telecom professionals. Engineers from Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei, Vodafone and T-Mobile gather here to trade knowledge across borders no conference circuit could cross.
3,600 Members. 45+ Countries.
The group scales organically — member by member — until it represents one of the largest concentrations of telecom expertise outside any single company's walls.
Transformation into a Group of Companies
The community-first instinct that built the Yahoo Group becomes the operating principle for an entire holding company — starting with LaneTwelve, the GCC's first social media agency.
One of the Fastest-Growing Digital Groups
160B+ interactions across the brands we've touched. 26+ years. The same early-mover instinct from 1999 still drives every company under the Zumbeel name.
Built on community.
Compounded by trust.
Fortune 500 Clientele.
Fortune has favoured us with partnerships across some of the world's top brands, including multiple companies from the Fortune 500.
50 Years of Real Estate,
Built Quietly by One Woman.
For half a century, the founder's mother built and held real estate with the discipline of someone who understood — long before "asset allocation" became a buzzword — that land outlasts trends, platforms, and even companies. That patient, unglamorous discipline now underpins every GCC investment recommendation made through LaneTwelve Properties.
Year Legacy
Five decades of quiet, disciplined ownership — long before "asset allocation" was a buzzword.
Generations
A portfolio carried on since 2017, now shaping how the family evaluates every opportunity.
Active Markets
Pakistan, UK, Dubai and Oman — research-first, long-horizon.
One of the most investable
nations of the 2030 decade.

What People Say.
"I've worked with LaneTwelve on two different brands — very aggressive and energetic. They know what they do and are very passionate about ROI and sales. What else would a client want?"
"After a grueling selection process — LaneTwelve was the only partner that really stood out. It has been a pleasure witnessing the evolution of social media in Pakistan with a partner like LaneTwelve."
"Extremely motivated individuals with solid ideas. LaneTwelve managed to 'get it' pretty much from the start — the ideas, the dedication from the team, extremely commendable."
"We launched Pantene's social platform together in 2010 and it became the most active beauty community in Pakistan. Then Pampers — taken to the next level. A great case study for the brand."
"LaneTwelve personifies 'business partner.' There were times I had to remind myself they were not fellow employees — so great was their ownership. They became indispensable for Standard Chartered."
"LaneTwelve proved their skeptics wrong by achieving the impossible. I congratulate them for the great work in social media — truly outstanding performances."
"LaneTwelve helped us champion social media through diligence and hard work. The constant value additions gave us a pleasant surprise at every turn."
Entrepreneurship isn't a skill or profession, but a lifestyle that helps one vision, act, and react for a higher purpose. Chottay Sikkay instills this in our generation at exactly the right time.
Children need to be acclimatized to entrepreneurship from a young age — the ability to think freely and creatively, beyond conventions. Chottay Sikkay is exactly that system.
Mohsin has shaped and mentored countless careers over the years — humble, generous, and one of the most genuine people in the industry.
LaneTwelve grasps both the brand and its audience, translating that understanding into sharp ideas and clean execution.
